The Armadillo Becomes Unbeatable When It Turns Into a Ball
Transcript

00:02 There are many species of animals in the world
00:08 that stand out for having different characteristics
00:10 from others.
00:11 (dog barking)
00:14 One of these animals lives and works underground
00:19 across the Americas.
00:20 The armadillo is one of the most curious animals
00:26 in the world.
00:27 But if you think that the armadillo is a fragile animal
00:30 that can easily be eaten by predators, you were wrong.
00:33 The armadillo has a great defense weapon,
00:37 which is its extreme hard shell.
00:39 When attacked, he usually curls up
00:43 and the predator barely manages to kill him.
00:46 This works even against highly powerful predators.
00:48 Furthermore, this small mammal can be an even worse trap
00:55 when an armadillo encounters a caracara in its path,
00:58 the bird may succumb and become seriously injured or killed.
01:02 This amazing video demonstrates how that is possible.
01:08 Somewhere in Brazil, a man discovered an armadillo
01:14 wrapped around the leg of a caracara.
01:17 The caracara probably attacked the armadillo,
01:22 which quickly curled up and caught its leg.
01:25 Even with his strong beak, the caracara has no chance
01:33 of breaking the armadillo's armor, at least to free itself.
01:36 This time, the armadillo demonstrated to its predator
01:50 that attacking it is not a good idea.
01:53 Or you can become a one-legged bird.
